Glenburgie Berry Bros & Rudd - Exceptional Single Cask #6011 Whisky 45 Year Old · 1975 Vintage
In stock
Glenburgie, known originally as Kilnflat, sits on the coastal grasslands of the Moray Firth, close to the town of Forres. Built in 1829, it passed through several owners until 1936 when, with its sister distillery Miltonduff, it became a key ingredient in one of Scotland’s leading blends. This wise old Speysider initially gives musty aromas of old leather, dusty attics and cigar boxes, however a little time in the glass, and perhaps a little warmth from one’s hands reveals a deeper fruity side. The palate is truly mouthcoating, with an old-style tropical fruit and waxy character building to an immensely complex and balanced experience. The long finish shows all the personality this spirit has built up over a near half century of maturation. Immense, unique and mindbogglingly good.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Initially musty, blending old leather, dusty attics and cigar boxes. With a moment in the glass and a touch of warmth, a deeper fruity core emerges—tropical fruit lifted by a waxy, resinous richness, all wrapped in aged oak. A refined, time-honored aroma that hints at extraordinary maturation.
Palate
An opulent, mouthcoating palate that glides with old-style tropical fruit and a waxy, refined texture. The richness unfolds with depth and elegance, revealing evolving fruit and subtle spice, building to a remarkably complex, balanced profile that lingers.
Finish
An immense, lingering finish that coats the palate with waxy tropical fruit, slowly fading alongside notes of aged leather and cigar box, with hints of warm oak and citrus zest persisting long after the last sip.
